“Operation ZAP” was the largest hands-on environmental activation of citizens in the US.
On September 9, 1972, thousands of volunteers cleaned up the Blackstone River, removing 10,000 tons of trash and debris - from cars and appliances to municipal trash and rotten wood - starting the healing from 150 years of pollution.
This year, we’re celebrate the 50th anniversary of these legendary efforts - how far we’ve come and how you can help us move forward!
